The structure of the O-antigen polysaccharide (PS) from the enteroaggregative Escherichia coli strain 396/C-1 has been determined. Sugar and methylation analyses together with (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy were the main methods used. Inter-residue correlations were determined by (1)H,(1)H-NOESY, (1)H,(13)C-heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation and dipole-dipole cross-correlated relaxation experiments. The PS is composed of pentasaccharide repeating units with the following structure: Analysis of NMR data reveals that on average the PS consists of approximately 13 repeating units and indicates that the biological repeating unit contains an N-acetylglucosamine residue at its reducing end. This structure is different to that reported for the O-antigen polysaccharide from E. coli O126. Monospecific anti-E. coli O126 rabbit serum from The International Escherichia and Klebsiella Centre did not distinguish between the E. coli strain 396/C-1 and the E. coli O126 reference strain, neither in slide agglutination nor in an indirect enzyme immunoassay. Subsequent successful serotyping of the E. coli strain 396/C-1 showed it to be E. coli O126:K+:H27.
